Demand licenses installed, these will also be displayed when listing the licenses for a switch, and
you will see either “First Ports on Demand license - additional Y port upgrade license” or “Second
Ports on Demand license - additional Z port upgrade license.” In cases where there are multiple
Ports on Demand licenses, the total additional allowed ports will not exceed the total displayed for
the “Full Ports on Demand” license.

License Description
ICL 16-link License, or Inter Chassis Links Provides dedicated high-bandwidth links between to Brocade
DCX chassis, without consuming valuable front-end 8 Gbps
ports. Each chassis must have the ICL license installed in order
to enable the full 16-link ICL connections (Available on the DCX
only).
NOTE: It is possible to upgrade an ICL 8-link License on a DCX to
an ICL 16-link license by just adding a new ICL 16-link
License. In that case, the ICL 8-link License will be
retained and will also be displayed when listing licenses
for the product. Even though both 8-link and 16-link
licenses are present, no more than 16 links per ICL
connector are actually enabled.
